About the License

We know that the above copyright statement sounds ridiculously strict
for a PDF file posted on the web. It is our intention and expectation
(but not our promise or obligation) to make version 2.0 of this
work available under some sort of Creative Commons license.
However, until that time, this work is licensed only under the above
statement. You must observe these draconian terms. (If you do not
agree to these terms, then the default Copyright Laws apply, which
stipulate that you cannot make any copies. At all.)

Our purpose is to limit distribution of this document until the second
edition is completely finished, proofread, and corrected. We ask for
your indulgence and understanding. We will continue to increment the
version number as we get closer to our goal. Please don't distribute
copies of the pre-version-2.0 file.

change and break direct links.
